IdeaPad Gaming 3i and IdeaPad Gaming 3 laptops from Lenovo come in two screen sizes: 15-inch and 16-inch. They're great for younger, new gamers who want to show off with the right gaming power.

This re-energized lineup sports a stylish makeover inside and out with improved thermal components for quieter gameplay, fresh chassis colors and high-performance detailing, not to mention a beefed-up WQHD+ panel option.

The new IdeaPad gaming laptops are portable enough to tote virtually anywhere like to class or friends' dorm rooms for marathon gameplay sessions, yet more powerful than an ultrabook for playing top titles and tackling schoolwork (or a side hustle) without breaking the bank. A quick peek under this machine's hood reveals powerful processing and graphics for budding gaming prowess and top-notch streaming.

It's hard to forget that first feeling of exhilaration when finally gaming with high-octane gaming swag. Built with a streamlined design, prepare to fall in love with the quiet Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 series with cool blue decorative piping accents surrounding its rear I/O cutout. Offering more than a cleaner look and feel, this updated rear notch design also enables better port accessibility, cable management, and for slipping it into a backpack with ease.
